    I don't think he'll get anywhere. Not in this political climate. He'll probably be portrayed as a racist/sexist/homophobe:

    Ya, he's prime target for media disinfo campaign. But... so was Trump.

    Where does he get off running for senate the first time around? He needs to think smaller. 32 years old those 5 months in Iraq do not qualify him for the US senate. Try a congressional seat or a state level seat first.

    Is he going to "primary" Boozman? If not then running in a general election means a vote for him is a de facto vote for the Democratic challenger, DUMB!!!

    That’s what we need! Politicians in Washington with CTE. I can’t imagine how anyone could consider this to be a good idea.

    I advance for consideration Tammy Duckworth. Democrats just couldn't resist all the check boxes that one brought.

    Are you seriously suggesting that you diagnosed someone you've never met and assert he has brain trauma? Really? You're still sucking up to Biden, and we know he has dementia. Classic hypocrisy.

    Considering the prevalence of CTE in the NFL I’d say the chances are at least decent that he’s afflicted.

    But it is not our place to make that call. if you get upset about people saying Biden has dementia then you should avoid similar things

    Sounds like a personal medical attack. Possibly, it's actionable.

    It should at least prompt a health assessment if he is serious about being a candidate.

    You are getting into very slippery territory. What's next, anyone over a certain age be given a health assessment if they are serious about being a candidate?

    I cannot agree to such things
